48Vin 5.0Vout 45A
225 Watt, No Heatsink, Isolated DC/DC Converter
The PQ60050HPA45 PowerQor™ Peta converter
is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated,
fixed switching frequency DC/DC converter that uses
synchronous rectification to achieve extremely high
conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by the
converter is so low that a heatsink is not required,
which saves cost, weight, height, and application effort.
The Peta series converters offer industry leading
output power for a standard “half-brick” module.
In addition to typical single ouput voltage applications,
the Peta units can also be used to provide a wide input
range Intermediate Bus for IBA systems.

BASIC OPERATION AND FEATURES
CONTROL FEATURES
The PowerQor series converter uses a two-stage power conversion topology. The first stage is a buck-converter that keeps the
output voltage constant over variations in line, load, and temperature. The second stage uses a transformer to provide the
functions of input/output isolation and voltage step-down to
achieve the low output voltage required.
REMOTE ON/OFF (Pin 2): The ON/OFF input, Pin 2, permits the user to control when the converter is on or off. This
input is referenced to the return terminal of the input bus,
Vin(-). There are two versions of the converter that differ by the
sense of the logic used for the ON/OFF input.
Both the first stage and the second stage switch at a fixed frequency for predictable EMI performance. Rectification of the
transformer’s output is accomplished with synchronous rectifiers. These devices, which are MOSFETs with a very low onstate resistance, dissipate far less energy than Schottky diodes.
This is the primary reason that the PowerQor converter has such
high efficiency, even at very low output voltages and very high
output currents.
Dissipation throughout the converter is so low that it does not
require a heatsink for operation. Since a heatsink is not
required, the PowerQor converter does not need a metal baseplate or potting material to help conduct the dissipated energy
to the heatsink. The PowerQor converter can thus be built more
simply and reliably using high yield surface mount techniques
on a PCB substrate.
The PowerQor series of half-brick, quarter-brick and eighthbrick converters uses the industry standard footprint and pin-out
configuration.
In the positive logic version, the ON/OFF input is active high
(meaning that a high turns the converter on). In the negative
logic version, the ON/OFF signal is active low (meaning that a
low turns the converter on). Figure A details five possible circuits for driving the ON/OFF pin. Figure B is a detailed look of
the internal ON/OFF circuitry.
REMOTE SENSE(+) (Pins 8 and 6): The SENSE(+) inputs
correct for voltage drops along the conductors that connect the
converter’s output pins to the load.
Pin 8 should be connected to Vout(+) and Pin 6 should be connected to Vout(-) at the point on the board where regulation is
desired. A remote connection at the load can adjust for a voltage drop only as large as that specified in this datasheet, that
is
[Vout(+) - Vout(-)] – [Vsense(+) - Vsense(-)] <
Sense Range % x Vout
Pins 8 and 6 must be connected for proper regulation of the output voltage. If these connections are not made, the converter
will deliver an output voltage that is slightly lower than its specified value.

Note: the output over-voltage protection circuit senses the voltage across the output (pins 9 and 5) to determine when it
should trigger, not the voltage across the converter’s sense
leads (pins 8 and 6). Therefore, the resistive drop on the board
should be small enough so that output OVP does not trigger,
even during load transients.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIM (Pin 7): The TRIM input permits
the user to adjust the output voltage across the sense leads up
or down according to the trim range specifications.
To decrease the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor between Pin 7 and Pin 6 (SENSE(-) input). For a desired
decrease of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor should be
Rtrim-down =
-2
(100%

(kΩ)
where
∆% =
Vnominal – Vdesired

x 100%
To increase the output voltage, the user should connect a resistor between Pin 7 and Pin 8 (SENSE(+) input). For a desired
increase of the nominal output voltage, the value of the resistor
should be

nominal – 2

Figure C graphs the relationship between the trim resistor value
and Rtrim-up and Rtrim-down, showing the total range the output voltage can be trimmed up or down.

Note: the TRIM feature does not affect the voltage at which the
output over-voltage protection circuit is triggered. Trimming the
output voltage too high may cause the over-voltage protection
circuit to engage, particularly during transients.
It is not necessary for the user to add capacitance at the Trim
pin. The node is internally bypassed to eliminate noise.
Total DC Variation of Vout: For the converter to meet its
full specifications, the maximum variation of the DC value of
Vout, due to both trimming and remote load voltage drops,
should not be greater than that specified for the output voltage
trim range.
PROTECTION FEATURES
Input Under-Voltage Lockout: The converter is designed
to turn off when the input voltage is too low, helping avoid an
input system instability problem, described in more detail in the
application note titled “Input System Instability”. The lockout circuitry is a comparator with DC hysteresis. When the input voltage is rising, it must exceed the typical Turn-On Voltage
Threshold value (listed on the specification page) before the
converter will turn on. Once the converter is on, the input voltage must fall below the typical Turn-Off Voltage Threshold value
before the converter will turn off.
Input Over-Voltage Shutdown: Available on PQ48 models only. The converter turns off when the input voltage is too
high, allowing the converter to withstand an input voltage as
high as 100V without destruction. The shutdown circuitry is a
comparator with DC hysteresis. When the input voltage
exceeds the typical Input Over-Voltage Shutdown value, the
converter will turn off. Once the converter is off, it will turn back
on when the input voltage falls below the minimum Input OverVoltage Shutdown value.
Trim Resistance (kOhms)
10,000
Output Current Limit: The maximum current limit remains
constant as the output voltage drops. However, once the impedance of the short across the output is small enough to make the
output voltage drop below the specified Output DC CurrentLimit Shutdown Voltage, the converter turns off.
1,000
100
The converter then enters a “hiccup mode” where it repeatedly
turns on and off at a 5 Hz (nominal) frequency with a 5% duty
cycle until the short circuit condition is removed. This prevents
excessive heating of the converter or the load board.

Output Over-Voltage Limit: If the voltage across the output
pins exceeds the Output Over-Voltage Protection threshold, the
converter will immediately stop switching. This prevents damage to the load circuit due to 1) excessive series resistance in

output current path from converter output pins to sense point, 2)
a release of a short-circuit condition, or 3) a release of a current limit condition. Load capacitance determines exactly how
high the output voltage will rise in response to these conditions.
After 200 ms the converter will automatically restart.
Input Filtering and External Capacitance: Figure E
below provides a diagram showing the internal input filter components. This filter dramatically reduces input terminal ripple
current, which otherwise could exceed the rating of an external
electrolytic input capacitor. The recommended external input
capacitance is specified in the “Input Characterisitcs” section.
More detailed information is available in the application note
titled “EMI Characteristics” on the SynQor website.
Over-Temperature Shutdown: A temperature sensor on
the converter senses the average temperature of the module.
The thermal shutdown circuit is designed to turn the converter
off when the temperature at the sensed location reaches the
Over-Temperature Shutdown value. It will allow the converter to
turn on again when the temperature of the sensed location falls
by the amount of the Over-Temperature Shutdown Restart
Hysteresis value.
APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
Input System Instability: This condition can occur
because any DC/DC converter appears incrementally as a
negative resistance load. A detailed application note titled
“Input System Instability” is available on the SynQor web site
(www.synqor.com) which provides an understanding of why
this instability arises, and shows the preferred solution for correcting it.

Startup Inhibit Period: The Startup Inhibit Period ensures
that the converter will remain off for at least 200ms when it is
shut down for any reason. When an output short is present,
this generates a 5Hz "hiccup mode," which prevents the converter from overheating. In all, there are seven ways that the
converter can be shut down, initiating a Startup Inhibit Period:
48Vin 5.0Vout 45A
When the ON/OFF pin goes high after t2, the Startup Inhibit
Period has elapsed, and the output turns on within the typical
Turn-On Time.
• Input Under-Voltage Lockout
• Input Over-Voltage Shutdown (not present in Quarter-brick)
• Output Over-Voltage Protection
• Over Temperature Shutdown
• Current Limit
• Short Circuit Protection
• Turned off by the ON/OFF input
Figure F shows three turn-on scenarios, where a Startup Inhibit
Period is initiated at t0, t1, and t2:
Before time t0, when the input voltage is below the UVL threshold, the unit is disabled by the Input Under-Voltage Lockout feature. When the input voltage rises above the UVL threshold, the
Input Under-Voltage Lockout is released, and a Startup Inhibit
Period is initiated. At the end of this delay, the ON/OFF pin is
evaluated, and since it is active, the unit turns on.
At time t1, the unit is disabled by the ON/OFF pin, and it cannot be enabled again until the Startup Inhibit Period has
elapsed.
